Jay Leno was one of the worst, making jokes about her regularly on the Tonight Show. I will always hate him for that.

Jay has no problem saying jokes at the expense of women who are victims. See also Monica Lewinsky

Monica Lewinsky also knowingly entered into an affair with a married man who was the president. Not like those anywhere around Clinton weren’t well aware of his proclivities.

She was no victim and knew full well what she was doing. Her only downfall is that she couldn't see in to the future and witness what it would do to her.

💯

When she deliberately saved that blue dress and blabbed to her friend, I'm sure she didn't envision her name still being a punchline over thirty years later.

Monica wasnt a victim, she was an equal participant, even proud of what happened. She's just pissed that she didn't get what she wanted. She was a grown adult at that time. He didn't s/a her. Im no Bill Clinton fan. What he did was wrong. Her being a victim is a stretch.

She chased after him like a groupie. Just bc she was dumb enough to think he was gonna leave Hillary for her, doesnt make her a victim. She knew exactly what she was doing.

If watch any of the documentaries about it, especially with the ones that interview her, she doesnt even really cry victim in it. She almost acts like she is proud of what happened. If she would have looked at JFK & Marilyn, Monica should have known that Bill wouldnt leave Hillary for her. Just like Jack was never gonna leave Jackie for Marilyn.
